TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN has compiled a selection of rare photographs and letters documenting the havoc wreaked on Dublin city centre during the Easter 1916 Rising.
In a new blog, Changed Utterly (inspired by the WB Yeats poem Easter 1916), the university will highlight an item or collection each week such as diaries, letters, photographs and items of clothing.
Estelle Gittins, Assistant Librarian at Trinity, said the blog showcases as yet unpublished records written by ordinary people, from dramatic as-it-happened accounts to carefully amassed scrapbooks.
This week’s blog focuses on a collection of photographs taken by Thomas Johnson Westropp (1860-1922), a Limerick-born scholar and graduate of TCD.
The images were taken in the days and weeks following the Rising and show the damage inflicted on the architectural fabric of central Dublin, including the GPO, Liberty Hall, the Four Courts and Clerys.
Previous blog posts have included the experience of Thomas Bodkin as a St John Ambulance stretcher bearer working out of Dublin Castle and the story of Eileen Corrigan, one of four female students to brave sniper bullets to make it into Trinity to sit exams.
More information on the blog is available here.

I’m off to cut a Mars Bar into 4… Feck the begrudgers
@⚡ Seánie ⚡: it’s even more fun when you glue four Kitkat Chunkies together and see the reaction from others.
@Harry Whitehead: brilliant :)
@Harry Whitehead: All Kit Kat lovers will never forgive you for that scurrilous comment. Sacrilege of the highest order. Will not sit at table in canteen at work with the unbelievers who produce supermarket home brands of Kit Kat. Peasants who do not know the true meaning of four fingers.
Did they give two fingers to KitKat
Ah here…… take a break lads
Just as well they stamp their name on each bar or I wouldn’t have a clue what I was eating……..
Can i have a Kit Kat chunky?
Sorry, we only have the ordinary ones…
That`s what i meant, you fa..
@Pixie McMullen: 10/10
My whole life has been a lie
I’m never satisfied by one kit-kat, I need about 3 of them they’re all finger and no chocolate if you ask me
Tough Break..
Two fingers to them so
The fact that they even asked has put me off kitkats
Mind you, people were familiar with the real Toblerone shape before the other company took chunks out of it at their discretion. I didn’t hear that company arguing that people had come to expect the usual trademark shape. With all the usual triangles.
Two fingers to them so!!
FFS REALLY!!!!
Have a break have a quick crap…
Have a break have a tandem!
Two fingers by two to Nestle! Nice to be mid silly season !!
Its the twox2 fingers for Nestle so.
Leo bars are much more wide spread in Belgium I’d say the average Belgian would think ok Leo if you showed them the Kitkat shape can’t nestle just be happy with their regional trademarks can’t have an Eu one if it’s not popular or even we’ll known in EU.
I guess the court gave them the..eh…two fingers!!
